The Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University has developed a new resource designed to help answer questions about the quality and nutritional characteristics of organic foods and the production practices used in organic agriculture. Findings from more than 70 peer-reviewed, scientific articles about organic agriculture are summarized on a new web site at "Scientific Findings About Organic Agriculture." The site organizes the research findings by topic, from animal health and welfare issues to information about poultry, meat, grains and fruit and vegetables. New studies will be added periodically as they become available.
